Asus Adds First Convertible ChromeBook

Fremont, Calif. – Asus is expanding its ChromeBook line to four SKUs with the launch of its first convertible ChromeBook, whose keyboard flips 360 degrees to turn it into a touchscreen tablet.

The ChromeBook Flip C100 with 10.1-inch multitouch display retails for a suggested $249 with 2GB RAM and $299 with 4GB at the Asus web store, Newegg.com and Amazon.com.

Out of a small number of convertible ChromeBooks available, Asus’s is the first 10.1-inch model. Lenovo also offers a convertible ChromeBook, the 11-inch Yoga 11e, launched in the third quarter of last year.

The Flip C100 display flips from 0 to 360 degrees and features 10.1-inch WXGA display with 1,280 by 800 resolution, IPS technology for ultra-wide viewing angles, and 10-finger multi-touch.

The device features a metal chassis to deliver a build and material quality of much more expensive notebooks, the company said.
